Quest and Discovery.

Chen Shu does not want to tire his body anymore, or else he would have started practicing some kind of martial art technique, to utilize the Qi inside him and refine his body muscles, skin, tendon, bones, organs, acupoints, and artilleries.

Where Shu remembered something new where he can cultivate his soul, to cultivate one soul, he can use his own previous life imprint, to nourish his soul. Chen Shu remembered that he had cultivated his visual art with the power of the Cosmos and the galaxies.

The term mana inside him is derived from Cosmic energy, he might be able to cultivate the soul more easily than in his previous life, there are also chances that, he would be able to derive a new form of martial art or sorcery, with the newly found knowledge and experience.

Chen Shu always believes that every energy absorption technique will always lead to a certain path, the path to reach Godhood.

He closed his eyes and visualize within his Dantian, after which he started to imagine his body within the cosmo with soul perception, at that moment he felt the Mana inside his body start revolving, astonishingly faster, not only it was improving his soul quality but it was improving his physical quality too, it does not improve his physical qualities related to strength or speed, but it has enhanced effects on Shu reflexes.

He smiled and continued, where a lady from inside the system felt something weird, so she came out to see Shu, at that moment Shu was still practicing where she was astonished to see the changes happening inside Shu, due to which she looked at Shu weirdly and got inside the system again.

On the other hand, Shu missed the point where the voice from the system took a human-like form and vanished inside again.

Shu on the other hand was immersed in its own little world, after all, the feeling of getting stronger is always fun.

The time Lady Ren came inside the room and noticed Shu concentrating on something, but he need food in a hurry so she spoke out in a caring voice, " Wake up sleepy head, the food is ready, you can now wake up and dig in."

Chen Shu wake up the next morning as he looked at the watch, he saw it was 4 am in the morning, and Shu has to wake up for the morning practice a habit from the previous life, he had already decided about the martial art, he will be practicing, it was a low-grade fist art, the collapsing fist, which can make the opponent organ explode.

At the mastery of this technique, Shu would be able to make the rock turn into a fine powder, with the impact of the single punch where Shu was thinking of adding elemental Mana in this technique, according to which he already processing of improvising it with little attributed Mana.

He stood up and walked outside to find a good training place, which ended up being the rooftop of the apartment on which he was living, he walks to rooftop and found the place seemingly isolated and fine, there was also the idea of training at the training center around the area.

Training Center was the place which seemed to be open to the public, with great facilities to train any kind of techniques, they had many different kinds of the facility for the different kind of martial arts and unique technique which can utilize Mana, to deal a large amount of damage.

Chen Shu took the pose, where he stretched his left leg more toward the left direction, simultaneously he did so with his right leg, bending left leg and stretching right leg straight, simultaneously, bending right leg and straightening left leg more.

Chen Shu stretched his body with a unique breathing rhythm, where the golden energy which was collected at the center of dantian, disperse in all directions, to keep the body intact, where Shu twisted his body, in the manner, all the muscles inside his body were strained.

Due to that, the fatigue was very high, but the golden wisp started to form orange shaded energy.

Chen Shu was enjoying the experience, when he felt a tremendous amount of Yang energy, collecting at the surrounding areas.

The tremendous amount of Yang energy was emitted, by the sun which was rising at the Horizon, Shu used the soul power to absorb the energy in the surrounding, as he finally sat in the lotus position, the energy surrounding the position started to rush inside Shu.

The energy which was absorbed started to reach the maximum limit, knowing that, he was reaching the boundary of Qi collection first realm, Shu felt his body paining a little, absorbing this much amount of the Yang Qi in such a short period.

He stood up and started punching and rotating collapsing fist art, with Yang Qi the punches released a vigorous strength, with with the Yang Qi started the attack, the tendon of his arm and legs, making them stronger with Yang Qi nourishment.

The body quality of Shu was improving the tendon, where the tenacity to break through the wall of the cultivation he was facing currently, the exercise continued around six-hour, the daylight was reaching high, the amount of Yang Qi was totally absorbed by him.

When the time was about to reach noon, he finished his training stream...walking down toward his room.

[Ding: Quest, remove the threat dawning on the city, Quest Danger: A-Class, reward 20 Vial of body forging ointment, 1000 contribution points.]

Chen Shu was surprised by the system award which would be given to him, after completion of the quest, before this he was thinking of finding a way, to replicate the body forging ointment for himself.

The reason for it, given he had already gotten into the Qi practitioner first stage, and due to which his body quality was not up to the limit. Qi practitioners need the body quality, to improve alongside the Qi limit... So they had to practice separately to refine his body...

What he needed at this moment was, the body forging ointment for himself from the previous world of martial art, seemingly, this system of his generated the reward according to his need, which seems to be a piece of good news for him.

Chen Shu did not have any knowledge related to Alchemy which is needed for the production of the ointment, and even if he were to practice It from this moment on, he needed to have someone guide him through the way of Alchemy, given it is not something one can learn easily.

"Hmm! A-Class danger it is then careful about this mission Shu, given if it was me at the prime of my power, I would have died if such difficulty is shown on the system, always remember the difficulties are set by the power you have, so if it is given A-Class danger, that means it already had a fatal danger for your life, even with your current weird technique and strengths."

Chen Shu was startled by the voice, but when he heard the amount of danger, he became more vigilant, seemingly, the system could be responsible for his re-birth, where the Ointment and the other thing was indicating that the system, had a deep idea about power level from the previous world.

Shu realized that he has to be quite vigilant with this quest-like thing where he was not overly vigilant too.

He walked toward his room since he wanted to eat something, and aunt Ren's extra-cooked food from yesterday was a good start, so he was thinking of warming it up and eating it, to rest his rumbling stomach.

Chen Shu found this hunger very inconvenient where he misses out on food replacement grain, from his previous world which can be eaten empty stomach too, and the person will feel all the energy and protein required from it.

He entered his room, to his surprise inside the room he saw Lady Ren who seemed to be waiting for him, "Welcome, are you done with the weird training you were doing."

Lady Ren smiled mischievously at Shu who nodded as he spoke out, "How can I help you, and thank you for yesterday, you really saved my life back then."

"When did you start to speak like that, but anyway I was here to cook some food for you, given I saw you were practicing so hard, where else there were also things, I wanted to tell you about anyway."

she spoke as she sat at the bed and continued

"Yesterday when you were facing that Icy waves, some specialized saw you and were amazed by your will, so they left Behind something you will be needing in your future practice, consider it as a Goodwill from them they said."

She silently took out the pouch and gave it to Shu, who looked and felt the mana sucking inside it with a new brand appearing on the pouch shiningly.

"I knew an artificer, which help me remove the seal of the previous owner, given that way you would be able to put some of your for future usage."

Where Shu was amazed to see, it was like a spatial bag that he can control through Mana, whereas Spiritual Qi was also able to access inside it, even though Mana was the more damaging type of energy, he only acts as an energy source in any talisman marking and array.

Seemingly Shu was able to grasp the marking and array inside the pouch, and according to him it is very easy to replicate it, with him being the one it is not something that great.

Chen Shu can also find out thousands of flaws inside this kind of array and mark, the only changes he found out were different lines points than the previous Dao of the array, where the structural figure was the same.

Given in Dao of Array the lines were curving, wherein mana kind is rigid in structural and straight in output, seemingly Mana flow is direct and Qi can flow can curve, Qi was more like water and Mana felt like Magma, since both of them can move with a different pattern.

With this, his Ideas started to develop different kinds of concepts that are applicable inside Mana usage, but Shu also realized that it will be harder for him to use mana in Qi martial arts, where it will be a lot harder for him to make it move, around as Qi can do.

Collapsing Fist art route is very complicated.

Chen Shu was not in the favor of using Mana in the replacement of Qi, it would definitely destroy the Mana route (channel).

That is why he has to find a new way of using it to which, this world might have its own type of martial art too, In conclusion for now that he can't use that power of Mana with technique, he has to find a more powerful technique to replace it. 'If only I had a sword.'

Chen Shu was in dilemma, looking at the situation where Shu had forgotten about the surrounding, Lady Ren looked at dazed Shu and did not disturb him for the time being, but the time was already high, so she pinched Shu ear making him jolted awake, Shu looked at Lady Ren and sighed.

Given he cannot get angry with that since the person was a beautiful Lady, he looked at the time and realized, why she did that.

Then again it was his fault for dozing off like that in his own thought, Shu looked at the surroundings and looked inside the other pouch.

What he saw was a handle, he took out from the bag and some stones just like the previous one, they were Mana Stones.

"That handle of yours is a sword, you have to switch the trigger with your mana, there is a mana stone inside, which will form the light sword, seemingly, it is common type weapon Lux, it will project pure light energy which can cut apart steel like butter."
